Fair Exchange has a bit to prove now while Cotton Jenny, frustrating to follow in Ireland, was beaten in a match on her first start for Evan Williams. SUMKINDOFKING won at Market Rasen in June and was then fifth in the Listed Summer Plate at the same track. A repeat of either of those runs should be good enough to account for Gustave Mahler, who is conceding 2lb and struggling to get his head in front where it matters.
